New Painting

Enlightenment
24 x 30
Acrylic on canvas


I love this painting! This is the best thing I've done so far.

Now I understand when asked to name their favorite book, movie, or painting that writers, actors, or artists often reply, "the one I'm working on right now."

Since I hadn't done a large canvas painting in a long time, I challenged myself to begin something I could show in an upcoming June exhibit through the San Antonio Watercolor Group. Instead, I might enter it in their fall juried competition or in a different juried event with the San Antonio Visual Artists.

But right now, I'm so in love with it I don't want it to go anywhere!

  5. Gina, this is a great blog...enjoyed every single entry, especially the gelatin monoprints. I definitely will try this again now that I've seen your inspiring results. And the blog about your art class was great, too. In fact, I think you and I have a lot in common. . . I, too, thought I wanted to write at one time. Again, great blog and have put you on my favorites list.
